FAST GIRLS, starring a trio of Britain's hottest young talent - Lenora Crichlow (BEING HUMAN), Lily James (WRATH OF THE TITANS) and Bradley James (MERLIN) - tracks the rollercoaster journey of a British female sprint relay team and is set to be the feel-good film of the summer.

Directed by award-winning young filmmaker Regan Hall (3 HOURS) and produced by Damian Jones (THE IRON LADY, SEX & DRUGS & ROCK & ROLL), FAST GIRLS is co-scripted by Noel Clarke (ADULTHOOD, KIDULTHOOD), Jay Basu and Roy Williams. Clarke also heads the strong supporting cast line-up of Lorraine Burroughs (DR WHO), BAFTA nominee Phil Davis (VERA DRAKE), Rupert Graves (V FOR VENDETTA) and newcomers Lashana Lynch, Dominique Tipper and Hannah Frankson.

When sassy streetwise Shania (Crichlow) meets ambitious, middle class Lisa (Lily James), their two worlds collide on the athletics track with explosive results. As the FAST GIRLS strive to qualify for a major world athletics championship, they battle adversity and rivalry on their dramatic, heartwarming and inspirational journey.
